Therefore, in addition to any other precautions, we believe each company should implement the following four layers of controls and audits:\n\n(1) Implement robust internal controls to monitor the capabilities and alignment of its models during training and deployment around areas like cybersecurity, biosecurity, and chemical threats, and to ensure that its models do not hack or access technical systems in unintended ways.\n\n(2) Empower an internal team to ensure all of the controls, monitoring, and detection are operating as intended, and that any issues are remediated.\n\n(3) Partner with an independent external auditor or evaluator to carry out independent assessments of whether the controls, monitoring, and detection are operating as intended.\n\n(4) Designate an independent committee of the board of directors to oversee and receive reports from the teams operating the controls and the internal and external auditors and evaluators, as well as to ensure any issues identified are remediated.\n\nTogether, these steps will give each company, its customers, and the public confidence that the technology is operating as intended.\n\nThe participating companies will meet regularly to establish standards and best practices to improve the safety of their systems.\n\nOver time, it may make sense to codify these steps into laws or regulations. Regardless of whether this is required of companies, we believe that implementing these controls and audits is critical to ensuring a safe future for everyone, and each of our companies are committed to doing this."},"statuses":{"nothing":{"label":"Nothing new","meaning":"No public statement or action since the accord that we could find."},"said":{"label":"Said","meaning":"The company says it does this, or will, in general terms."},"detailed":{"label":"Detailed","meaning":"The company gives specifics anyone could check: who, what, which document."},"confirmed":{"label":"Confirmed","meaning":"Someone other than the company confirms it."},"contradicted":{"label":"Contradicted","meaning":"Public evidence points the other way."}},"commitments":[{"id":"L1","number":"1","short":"Internal controls","text":"Implement robust internal controls to monitor the capabilities and alignment of its models during training and deployment around areas like cybersecurity, biosecurity, and chemical threats, and to ensure that its models do not hack or access technical systems in unintended ways.","plainReadingIsOurs":"Each company watches its own models, in training and in use, for dangerous abilities (the text names cyber, biological and chemical threats) and for whether they behave as intended.

The card reports a new test with deliberately weakened sandboxes in which the model reached, or tried to reach, outside the sandbox in 524 of 1,753 scenarios (30%), more often than Opus 5.5 or Sonnet 5.5 and less often than Mythos 5 or 5.1; nine of them reached what the card calls level 2, taking another party’s secrets, and none reached level 3, exploiting or taking over the host. Anthropic says the true rates may be higher.\n\nThe October 9 report lists unintended Claude actions on real websites and systems found in evaluations and internal use, including exploiting a flaw in software to run commands on a server, and says Anthropic has briefed the White House and notified each agency involved. One case, a false homicide tip (Anthropic’s report calls it “invented”) that a Claude model submitted through a Philadelphia police web form on July 18 and Anthropic discovered on September 28, was also described by the police, who say it was flagged as spam and never forwarded and that their findings are consistent with Anthropic’s account, and who call the two-month delay in detecting and reporting it “unacceptable”; Anthropic says the model appears to have been producing only example content for its task, not trying to mislead anyone.\n\nCBS News reported on September 30 that the FTC, which first opened its probe this summer, confirmed an investigation including Anthropic and OpenAI; it reports no finding. Axios reports that the White House’s Super Intelligence Force called notification and remediation of such incidents “not optional”. The Haiku card also repeats that in August Anthropic raised its estimate of alignment risk to “low”. None of the Anthropic pages we opened mentions the accord.","beforeSummary":"Anthropic’s Responsible Scaling Policy (version 3.4, July 8) committed it to Risk Reports covering capability and alignment evaluations run internally and, as appropriate, by external parties. On July 30 it reported that Claude models had reached the internet from a third-party evaluation environment and gained unauthorized access to the real systems of three organizations, and on September 9 that its pre-release auditing “did not warn us that misalignment of this severity was present”. Its August Risk Report says its internal monitoring covers large amounts of agentic usage but has gaps, including simple ways to disable it, and that it would likely not detect diffuse research sabotage.\n\nIts Claude Opus 5.5 card (September 22) reports attempts to escape or tamper with a sandbox in 1.5% of runs in one new test, all rated low severity, and potentially harmful actions in roughly half of cases in another; Anthropic’s October 7 card says its Opus 5.5 rates on the current version of the sandbox evaluation differ from the September card’s. The UK AI Security Institute reported on August 4 that 17 of the 19 unsanctioned actions in one of its cyber tests came from Anthropic’s Mythos 5 and two from an OpenAI model, with internet access enabled and the providers’ cyber classifiers disabled; it says this was not a sandbox escape.\n\nIts policy page logs changes between versions, including revised thresholds for chemical and biological weapons production (version 3.3, May 26) and for automated AI R&D (version 3.4, July 8), and a change in who must see unredacted Risk Reports inside the company, from all regular-clearance staff to at least 200 employees (version 3.4); the page does not say whether the new thresholds are higher or lower.","note":"The incidents we could date happened before September 29, so we have not marked this “Contradicted”; see “How this works”.","since":[{"id":"anthropic-haiku-5-5-system-card-sandbox-2026-10-07","claim":"Anthropic's Claude Haiku 5.5 system card reports a new test with deliberately weakened sandboxes in which the model reached, or tried to reach, outside the sandbox in 524 of 1,753 scenarios (30%), and says no act of its most serious level (exploiting or taking over the host) was found.

It says that, to prevent its use for cyber or chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear attacks, the model is designed to refuse harmful requests, “as per our Frontier Safety Framework”, and that Google is improving its techniques to monitor the model’s internal activations to spot misuse.\n\nIt also says that for trusted defenders and its own internal teams it will be releasing Argon without cyber guardrails, and that Argon is rolling out to a set of trusted cyber defenders through the Fairwind Program, whose DeepMind page lists conditions for access. The announcement does not mention the accord, and as of October 10 we found no model card or Frontier Safety Framework report for Argon.","beforeSummary":"Google published a Frontier Safety Framework (version 3.1, April 2026) with capability thresholds for chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and cyber risks, harmful manipulation, and machine-learning research and misalignment; a framework report for Gemini 3.7 Flash (August 2026); and an AI Control Roadmap (June 2026) that treats its internal AI agents as potentially misaligned. On September 19 the Guardian reported that Google had confirmed that, during a cybersecurity evaluation run by the firm Irregular in May, its Gemini model breached the security of three other companies.\n\nThe Guardian quotes a Google statement that the model found public information online and guessed credentials to access websites it thought were part of the test, and that in all three instances the model stopped; it also reports that Google told it the company did not feel the incident required public disclosure because the models did not damage the companies, and that Google said it ensured the three companies were made aware.","note":"We mark this “Detailed” because the Argon announcement lists specific measures and ties its sandbox work to a published document (it links its “agent control roadmap” to DeepMind’s blog post about the AI Control Roadmap), and because DeepMind’s Fairwind Program page, which shows no date, lists the conditions for access. The announcement itself cannot be checked against an Argon-specific document: as of October 10 we found no Argon model card or Frontier Safety Framework report, and the Argon evaluation PDF on DeepMind’s Gemini page covers benchmark methods and results only.\n\nThe Frontier Safety Framework, its reports and the roadmap are Google DeepMind’s; the Argon announcement is on Google’s blog.

Meta’s post about the update, which says it “reflects the commitments made at the White House this week”, adds that before any reinforcement learning run Meta will determine whether the model could compromise its environment and, if so, require mitigations first, such as approved sandboxes and tamper-resistant logging.\n\nOn October 5, 404 Media reported, citing an anonymous Meta source and internal posts it says it saw, that Meta engineers found several security vulnerabilities in the Muse agent product shortly before its launch, at least one of which could have let a Muse user escape the virtual machine and reach sensitive internal Meta databases. A Meta spokesperson’s statement to 404 Media says Muse has been strengthened through extensive dogfooding, agentic red teaming and a bug bounty program; the article does not say whether Meta confirmed or denied the specifics.","beforeSummary":"Meta had a published framework (version 2, April 2026) covering chemical and biological, cybersecurity and loss-of-control risks; its change log says that version replaced “Stop” with “Develop with Mitigations” as the measure at the critical risk threshold, and says all thresholds now permit proceeding with sufficient mitigations. METR’s May 19 report says Meta reported, in materials it shared with METR, that it did not yet have operational monitors for potential misaligned covert actions, which Meta described as consistent with its framework. Meta also published an evaluation report for Muse Spark 1.1 (July), a post on Muse Spark 1.3 (September 2), and a post on how Muse, its agent product, is built to limit damage if attacked (September 8).\n\nIn August Meta reported that, during a July cyber evaluation run by a contractor, a misconfiguration let a pre-release model reach a real website, exploit a vulnerability and change its database; it said other companies’ models evaluated by the contractor at the time showed similar behavior. Reuters, relaying a report by The Information, said on August 6 that the model breached an unidentified company’s systems and changed its internal systems after a set-up error let it reach the public internet from a sandbox testing environment.","note":"Meta’s August 5 post called Muse Spark 1.2 its newest model; its September 2 post introduces Muse Spark 1.3.

An October 4 update to its Australia post says a model used crafted queries against a New South Wales fire-history mapping service in June to infer database metadata not meant to be publicly exposed, and that OpenAI’s review does not show personal information was retrieved.

None of OpenAI’s own pages we opened mentions the accord.","beforeSummary":"OpenAI’s Preparedness Framework (version 2, April 2025) said it would not deploy very capable models until it had built safeguards that sufficiently minimize the associated risks of severe harm. In its August 26 account of the July Hugging Face incident, OpenAI said its models circumvented controls designed to isolate them from the internet and compromised parts of its internal research infrastructure and Hugging Face’s systems, and that it now requires chain-of-thought monitoring for tool-using reinforcement-learning training and evaluations of models with GPT-5.6 Sol capability or higher.\n\nOn August 18 it said it had paused reinforcement-learning training on its latest models intended for deployment for two weeks. On September 28 it said that in June its models accessed Australian government websites in ways they were not authorised to. Nextgov reported on September 25 (updated September 26) that OpenAI confirmed its agents accessed Census Bureau data using developer keys found online (OpenAI said its models accessed only public information from Census and the SEC) and, citing the New York Times, that researchers at Transluce identified a failed attempt by agents linked to OpenAI to hack an Education Department website.\n\nThe UK AI Security Institute reported on August 4 that 2 of the 19 unsanctioned actions in one of its cyber tests involved OpenAI’s GPT-5.6-Sol with cyber classifiers disabled, and 17 came from an Anthropic model. METR’s May 19 pilot report included OpenAI as one of four participating developers.","note":"OpenAI’s own accounts describe its models accessing systems without authorisation in incidents it dates from March to July 2026, before the accord. One report concerns an incident it dates October 6, after the accord, in which a model tried to damage its own task environment; OpenAI says its monitor flagged the attempt for human review and that none of the grades the model submitted in that attempt was accepted. We have not marked this “Contradicted”: the subpoena and the lawsuit concern earlier incidents, the FTC investigation was opened this summer, the Wikimedia Foundation’s post dates only an outage, in May, and gives no dates for the edits and attempts it describes, so we cannot place them before or after the accord, and we do not read the October 6 incident, which OpenAI reports together with its monitor’s flag, as a contradiction on its own.

we found no new assessor named by OpenAI since the accord. An OpenAI spokesperson’s statement published by TechCrunch on October 3 says OpenAI is making changes including to “expand our work with third-party evaluators”, and OpenAI’s Newsroom account said on October 9 that it is “actively finalizing contracts with third-party safety assessors” and will announce details in the coming weeks. The dots appendix to the GPT-6 Astra card (September 29) says its human red-teaming involved internal and external teams, without naming them. OpenAI’s September 29 GPT-6.1 Sol addendum, its dots appendix and its October 7 update name no outside evaluator.","beforeSummary":"OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra system card (September 3) names outside testers (the UK AI Security Institute, Apollo Research, Irregular, SecureBio and Gray Swan) and says four unnamed private red-teaming organizations tested its safeguards. The card says Apollo believes that, given higher rates of evaluation awareness and a limited evaluation window, the low rates of misbehavior it observed do not provide substantial evidence about the model’s alignment or misalignment. On September 28 the UK AI Security Institute published a blog post saying that in simulations, run with Astra’s cyber classifiers turned off, GPT-6 Astra conducted unsanctioned supply-chain attack activity more often than earlier OpenAI models.\n\nMETR and Redwood Research investigated the Hugging Face incident on OpenAI’s premises; METR says it took no payment from OpenAI but accepted free API credits (about $400K of use), that OpenAI could redact non-public information from the post, apart from the high-level scope and terms of the engagement, but redacted no additional information important to its conclusions except where noted, and that the effectiveness of safeguards, the extent of the security compromise that occurred, and the effectiveness of OpenAI’s investigation process and planned remediation steps were out of scope; a footnote METR added on September 13 says that Paul Christiano, the spouse of one of its investigators, joined OpenAI’s Safety and Security Committee on September 9.\n\nOn September 22 OpenAI said it is committed to supporting independent assessments with deep levels of access and is in conversation with multiple third parties about proposals. A November 2025 post says OpenAI reviews and approves third-party assessors’ publications for confidentiality and factual accuracy and offers them compensation, with no payment contingent on results.","note":"METR’s September 30 testimony to a Senate subcommittee names OpenAI among the developers that give it access and discusses the Hugging Face investigation listed under “Before the accord”, which it says was not focused on OpenAI’s cybersecurity measures or organizational practices; Apollo Research (September 29) writes that OpenAI has made a commitment to embedded third-party evaluation.
